KNITTING and CROCHETING 

The Popular Hand Work of To-day 



HE artistic appreciation of hand work, which is 
felt everywhere, nowadays, and the increasing 
use of fine yarns, have had much to do with 
the development of the Art of Knitting and 
Crocheting. To the uninitiated, it seems re- 
markable that the quality of the yarn has so much 
to do with the beauty of the completed work. 
But the expert knitter knows that fine yarn shows 
itself, not only in rich and perfect colorings, but 
in softness and loftiness of thread and in beauty of 
texture. Cheap yarn condemns itself by the dull- 
ness and harshness of the finished article, in spite of the good 
work that may have been put into it. An article made of 
Columbia Yarns is the ideal of beauty in its line. 

To all who are interested in Knitting and Crocheting, 
whether as beginners or as advanced workers, this book will 
be found of invaluable assistance. The instructions are sim- 
ple, clear, and thorough, and the illustrations make every 
point plain. 

The beginner will find every step explained carefully. 
The book is her teacher and is always at hand to repeat the 
lesson as often as she needs it, or to progress as rapidly as she 
is able. 

The skilled knitter will find it full of ideas, even for her 
advance work, — new articles, new stitches, etc., all clearly 
illustrated and described. 

In short, it is a complete manual in the Art of Knitting 
and Crocheting, and its study means pleasure and success in 
this delightful occupation.

But there is also a practical reward in the possession of more beautiful and useful things 
than many a uoman can afford to buy 






COLUMBIA YARNS 

First Stitches: Knitting 

TO CAST ON STITCHES 




Make a loop in the yarn, and put it on the left-hand needle. Slip the right-hand needle into the loop, throw yarn around 
the point of right-hand needle, draw it through and slip that loop on the left-hand needle. Put the right-hand needle into 
the loop just made, and repeat until you have the required number of stitches. 

TO KNIT PLAIN 




Having the number of stitches required on the left-hand needle, slip the right-hand needle into the last stitch made. 
Throw yarn over right-hand needle and draw through stitch. Repeat until all the stitches are on the right-hand needle. 





TO PURL OR SEAM 






jt 




^^r ft 



Bring the yarn in front of the right-hand needle, take up the stitch on the left-hand needle by slipping right-hand needle 
into the front of stitch. Throw yarn around the back of needle as it passes in the stitch, catch it in, and take it off. 
Be careful always to carry the yarn back of the needle after a purled stitch before knitting a plain stitch. 

Columbia Yarns wouldn't be so beautiful or wear so long if they weren't made from the 

finest wool 



COLUMBIA YARNS 



First Stitches: Knitting 

TO SLIP A STITCH 




Take the stitch from the left-hand to the right-hand needle without knitting it 

TO MAKE A STITCH 




To increase or make a stitch insert the needle in the stitch, make a stitch, then in the back of same stitch make 
another stitch, now slip the stitch off the needle, this gives you 2 stitches in 1. By this method of increasing a stitch, 
a stitch is added without making a hole in the work. 

TO MAKE A STITCH WHEN PURLING 




The yarn being already in front of the needle, must also be passed around the needle 

An introduction to Columbia Yarns always leads to a delightful and lasting friendship

COLUMBIA YARNS 



First Stitches: Knitting 

TO MAKE A TWIST STITCH 




Like plain knitting-, except that the needle must be put in the back of the stitch. Then knit as usual. 

TO SLIP AND BIND 




Slip the stitch from the left-hand to the right-hand needle without knitting. Knit the next stitch, then pass the slipped 
stitch over the knitted one. 

Note —Sometimes the slipped stitch is passed over 2 and even over 3 stitches knitted together, where it is necessary to 
decrease the number of stitches. 

TO BIND OFF 




Knit the first 2 stitches, pass the first stitch back over the second stitch, knit 1 stitch, pass the stitch on the right- 
hand needle over it, and repeat, until but 1 stitch remains. Draw yarn through and break off. 

There's one way to be sure of the best yarn — look for the Columbia ring label

First Stitches: Crocheting 



CHAIN STITCH 




Make a series of loops, drawing each loop through the preceding one. 



SLIP STITCH 




Skip first stitch of chain. Insert the hook in next stitch, throw yarn over hook and draw 
through both loops on needle. 



SINGLE CROCHET 




Insert hook, draw yarn through, pass yarn around the hook, and draw it through both 
loops on the hook. 



The fine quality and brilliant coloring of Columbia Yarns are an inspiration to the knitter

DOUBLE CROCHET 




Pass the yarn around the hook, insert the hook, draw yarn through ; pass the yarn around 
the hook and draw yarn through 2 loops and again through 2. 



LONG CROCHET 




Pass the yarn around the hook, insert hook, draw yarn through ; pass the yarn around the 
hook and draw it through I loop, then through 2, then again through 2. 



TREBLE CROCHET 




Pass the yarn around the hook twice, insert the hook, draw yarn through ; pass the yarn 
around the hook, draw through 2 loops, again through 2 loops, and again through 2. 

Knitting was once a woman's duty — it is now her pleasure, and, with Columbia Yarns, her art

INSTRUCTIONS 

Make a chain of 80 stitches. 

First Row — 1 Sg. C in the 2d stitch of 
chain, * draw a loop through each of 3 suc- 
cessive stitches; this will leave 4 loops on the 
hook. Draw yarn through 1 loop, throwing 
the yarn over the hook and drawing through 
2 loops, yarn over drawing through 2 loops, 
yarn over drawing through the last 2 loops, 
chain 1, and fasten down with a Sg. C in the 
same stitch where the last loop was made. 
Repeat from * to end of chain, break off the 
yarn. There will be 26 of these puff groups. 

Second Row — Commence with Sg. C, * 
draw a loop through each of 3 spaces in the 
back of the puff group of 1st row; draw yarn 
through 1 loop, throwing the yarn over the 
hook and drawing through 2 loops, yarn over 
drawing through 2 loops, yarn over drawing 
through the last 2 loops, chain 1 and fasten

Finish the afghan with 4 rows of Sg. C, 
and a row of slip stitch between them, and 
edge with cord, made as follows: 

Pick up the 1st Sg. C at either end of border, 
using Blue yarn ; make a chain of 5 stitches, 
take up next stitch with White yarn, make a 
chain of 5 stitches (this makes it necessary to 
have both colors of yarn going at the same 
time) ; cross the Blue chain over the White 
and insert needle in the next stitch to the one 
you began with White yarn, and fasten with 
a Sg. C. Now take the White yarn and cross 
over Blue yarn and insert needle in the next 
stitch to the one to which you fastened the 
Blue yarn ; chain 5 and continue in like man- 
ner all around the afghan.

INSTRUCTIONS 

FOR SIZE 6y 2 HAND 



Begin with a chain of 40 stitches, join, and 
make 5 rows of slip stitches. 

Sixth Row — Make slip stitch by picking up 
the front edge of stitch ; 5 rows thus, and begin 
the thumb. Make 1 chain, knit 1 stitch, make 
1 chain and continue as above around the row 
— this increases the thumb. 

Next row plain, next increases same as be- 
fore. 1 row plain, continue in this manner 
until you have 23 increased stitches; be sure 
to always make the increase in the same place 
so as to form a gusset. 

Close the 23 stitches together to form the 
thumb, join, work on the 40 stitches for the 



front of hand, 18 plain rows, and decrease by 
drawing 2 stitches together to 1, until you have 
the desired width. Knit together to close the 
front. 

Finish the thumb by narrowing 2 stitches 
at the joint, 1 row plain, narrow 1 stitch 
at joint, leaving 19 stitches. Make 7 rows 
plain, narrow 2 stitches each row to make 
point. 

Finish the cuff, make 1 row 1 D C in each 
stitch, next row 1 D C, skip 1 stitch, 1 D C, 
stitch back in the stitch you skipped, next row 
1 Sg. C, 2 chain stitches, 1 D C all around the 
mitt.

Cast on 100 stitches, 34 on each of 2 
needles, 32 on the third. Knit 5 rounds plain, 
on the 6th round * yarn over needle twice, knit 
2 together. Repeat from * all around. 

Knit 5 more rounds plain. Turn the edge 
up inside and with each stitch on the needle 
knit 1 corresponding loop from the edge, form- 
ing a fancy hem. 

Then knit 2 and purl 2 for 40 rounds. Now 
knit 5 inches plain. At the 1st row of plain 
knitting make the seam stitch, which must be 
purled to the end of the heel. 

After 5 inches of plain knitting is done, 
narrow at each side of the same stitch. (This 
is done by knitting to within the last 3 stitches 
of seam stitch; slip 1, knit 1, draw the slip 
stitch over the knitted one, knit 1, purl the 
seam stitch, knit 1, knit 2 together, knit the 
rest plain.) Repeat this 9 times, doing 8 
rounds between each narrowing. Then knit 
without decreasing until the entire leg meas- 
ures 20^/2 inches. 

Heel — Divide the stitches, having 17 on 
each side of seam, knit and purl these stitches 
until the heel measures 23^ inches, slipping 
the 1st stitch of every row. To turn the heel — 
First Row — Slip 1st stitch, knit 17, purl seam 
stitch, knit 2, knit 2 together, knit 1, turn. 

Second Row — Slip 1, purl 6, purl 2 to- 
gether, purl 1, turn. 

Repeat 1st and 2d rows alternately until 
there are 17 stitches on the needle, knit these 17 
stitches, and on the same needle pick up 16 
loops along left side of the heel, knitting each 
loop as you pick it up. On the 2d needle knit 




the 45 instep stitches, on the 3d needle pick up 
16 loops on the other side of the heel and knit 
8 stitches off the 1st needle or top of the heel. 

Gusset — First Round — * on 1st or foot 
needle, knit plain to within 2 stitches of the 
end, knit them together. Knit along instep 
needle. On 3d or foot needle slip 1, knit i r 
pass the slip stitch over, then knit plain to end 
of needle. 

Second Round — Like the 1st round. 

Third Round — Knit plain. 

Repeat from * until there are 80 stitches in 
the round. 

Then knit plain for 3^2 inches. 

Now the narrowing of the toe begins as fol- 
lows: Divide the stitches equal on 4 needles, 
20 on each, knit 1 stitch, slip 1, knit 1, pass 
the slip stitch over the last knitted 1. Knit 
plain to end of needle. Repeat all around. 
Knit round plain. Continue narrowing every 
other round at beginning of each needle until 
4 stitches are left, 1 on each needle. Bind off 
and secure yarn on the wrong side.

Knit 13 rounds plain; on the 14th round 
begin to increase for the thumb, by knitting the 
1st stitch plain, increase 1 in the next stitch 
(insert the needle in the stitch, make a stitch, 
then in the back of same stitch make another 
stitch, now slip the stitch off the needle. This 
gives you 2 stitches in 1), then knit 31 stitches

finger equally on 3 needles, continue to knit 
plain in the round for 24 rounds, then decrease 
by knitting 2 of the inside stitches together. 
Knit 8 rounds plain, then decrease by knitting 

2 of the inside stitches together. Knit 6 rounds 
plain, knit 2 together, then knit 2 all around, 
knit 2 together, knit 2 all around, knit 2 to- 
gether, and then knit 1 all around until you 
have 14 stitches remaining on the needle. 
Draw the yarn through the 14 stitches, draw 
together, fasten the yarn firmly on the wrong 
side. 

Second Finger — Put the next 7 stitches 
from the inside of the hand on a needle. Cast 
4 stitches on another needle, then take the last 
8 stitches off the cotton onto a needle. Now 
pick up the 4 stitches, cast on for the 1st finger, 
and work as before, making finger 6 rounds 
longer previous to beginning to decrease. 

Third Finger — Take 7 stitches from in- 
side of hand, cast on 4 stitches, take the last 7

INSTRUCTIONS 

FOR SIZE 7 HAND 



Cast 60 stitches on 3 needles and knit 60 
rounds in ribbed knitting, 2 stitches plain and 
2 purled. 

Follow with 70 rounds of plain knitting for 
the hand. 

In the 3d round of the 70 begin to widen 
for the thumb gore. To begin, widen at both 
sides of the first 2 stitches, and then 5 times 
thereafter, with intervals of 2 rounds in a line 
above the previous widenings. For the widen- 
ings, having knitted the first 2 stitches men- 
tioned, knit a stitch crossed out of the succeed- 
ing horizontal mesh. (For cross knitting in- 
sert the needle downward at the back instead 
of upward at the front.) Purl the following 
stitch, then having knitted the round, purl the 
stitch that precedes the 2 named and knit I 
crossed out of the horizontal mesh succeeding 
it; at each successive round the number of 
stitches between the widenings will naturally 
be increased. After the last widening round 



(the 1 8th round) knit 2 more rounds, then 
take the stitches of the thumb gore on separate 
needles and knit 24 rounds for the thumb, in 
the last 4 of which point it. 

Then continue the hand. 

In the 1st round out of the mesh connecting 
the thumb stitches knit 2 stitches crossed. In 
the following round knit 2 stitches together on 
both sides of these 2 stitches, and in the suc- 
ceeding round knit each one of these stitches 
together with the one beside it, thus forming a 
gusset. 

The hand is narrowed in the last 1 1 rounds. 
In the first of these knit 2 stitches together at 
both sides of the 1st stitch, and at both sides 
of the middle stitch, then narrowing before the 
stitch to be knit plain, and thereafter in every 
following 2d round narrow in the same 
manner, then in last round divide the stitches 
into halves and cast off, knitting the stitches of 
both halves together in pairs.

Cast on bone needle 290 stitches, knit 1, 
purl 1 for 144 rows, or 18 inches long; on the 
145th row knit 1, purl 1 for 68 stitches. 
This is for right-hand side of jacket. Bind 
off 6 stitches, knit 1, purl 1 for 142 stitches, 
bind off 6 stitches, then knit 1, purl 1 for 68 
stitches. This is for left-hand side of jacket. 
This divides the jacket in 3 sections. Now 
knit and purl the 68 stitches for 20 rows; on 
the 20th row knit 2 together at the end of the 
needle toward the front, decrease 1 stitch every 
other row until you have 46 stitches left and 
65 rows. This is the left side. 

Now work the back for 65 rows, then bind 
off 46 stitches together with the left side, the 
seam is to be seen. Leave the rest of the 
stitches from the back on the needle. 

Now work the right side to correspond with 
the left, then bind off 46 stitches with the back 
together. There will be 50 stitches left. 
Keep them on the needle, pick up the stitches 
along the 2 fronts, divide them on 3 or 4 
needles, knit plain, and increase 1 stitch at each 
point every other row, work 6 rows, or 3 ribs, 
now knit the buttonholes on the left side. 
Knit them in this way: Knit 9, bind off 3, 
knit 9, so on to the end of needle. Next row 
cast on 3 stitches over the bind-off on the pre- 
vious row, knit plain 6 rows more. Bind off 
loosely. 

Sleeves — Cast on 130 stitches, knit 1, purl 




1 for 130 rows, slip stitches on steel needles, 
and decrease to 86 stitches for cuffs; this is 
done by knitting 2 stitches together, then purl 
1, then 2 together, so on until you have 86 
stitches. Make the cuff 60 rows long, bind off 
loosely and crochet the sleeve together and 
into the armhole. 

Face the jacket on both sides and around 
the neck, sew over the buttonholes and sew 
button on the right side. 

For 38-inch chest, knit 15 stitches more; 
this will make each front from the armhole 5 
stitches more, and 5 stitches more for the back. 
The same directions will answer for 40-inch 
chest, knitting 30 stitches more, and 15 stitches 
more for sleeve.

needle as on stitch. Repeat this on the 13th, 
20th, 27th, 34th and 41st rows, which will 
give you 6 buttonholes. Finish the vest just 
reversing the directions in each row. 

Back — With 4 fold Germantown and 
double crochet hook, make a chain of 40 
stitches, make 2 ribs or 4 rows plain, then 4 
ribs, increasing 1 stitch in each rib toward 
the armhole. Add 24 stitches and make 1 rib, 
then make 7 ribs increasing 1 stitch in each 
rib for the shoulder. 

Eight ribs plain. 

Seven ribs, decreasing 1 stitch in each rib 
for the other shoulder, bind off 24 stitches, 
make 4 ribs decreasing 1 stitch in each rib. 

Make 2 ribs plain. 

Sew the fronts and backs together on the 
shoulder, and under arm, and face with narrow 
ribbon. Also face the fronts and neck of the 
vest with a wider ribbon. Finish with buttons 
on the right front. Sew ribbon on the back 
of the vest for buckle fastener. 

Take up 18 stitches of pocket openings of 
each front and make 2 rows and bind them off, 
line with ribbon for the pockets.

KNIT 




MATERIAL — Columbia Spanish Knitting Yarn 

3 hanks 
5 Steel Knitting Needles No. 15 



INSTRUCTIONS 



Cast 114 stitches divided on 4 needles, and 
work with the 5th needle as follows : Knit in 
rib style for 47 rounds, by purling 2 and 
knitting 2. 

In the 48th round begin the gore, which 
covers the knee. Knit off the first 26 stiches, 
and knit them separately back and forth, purl- 
ing 2 and knitting 2. 

After knitting 2 rows in this manner, change 
the pattern by knitting the stitches that were 
purled and purling the ones that were knit, 
thus forming a small square. 

In knitting this gore, 1 stitch is taken from 
the needle at each side of the 26 stitches 
each time across after the 1st row. This 
widens the gore, then it is knit as described 
above. 



Continue taking stitch from the needles 
until there are only 42 left of the original 
ribbed portion. This brings the gore to the 
points at the side and completes the upper half 
of the knee cap. 

Work the lower half of the gore separately, 
narrowing 1 at the end of each row until only 
26 stitches are left. Take up 23 stitches at 
each side of these 26 stitches along the selvedge 
of the gore. This will bring you to the side 
of the gore. 

Then divide the stitches as evenly as pos- 
sible on the 4 needles and work in rib style 
the same as top, 47 rounds, being careful to 
continue the ribs of the upper portion. 

Finish the knee cap with a border of plain 
crochet.
